Technical Information FIT-RPFTM kits provide a superior analytical method to measure effective renal plasma flow. BioPAL's FIT-RPF test, whose analytical segment uses immunoassay, overcomes all the major limitations associated with current analytical technology. The presence of a GFR marker, such as Gd-DTPA or Gd-DOTA, in the sample will not affect the accuracy of the FIT-RPF measurement. Therefore, researchers can simultaneously obtain a GFR and RPF measurement in the same subject using FITTM kits. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the measure of the total volume of plasma actually filtered through the glomerulus per unit of time, while the effective renal plasma flow (RPF) is the measure of the total volume of plasma passing through the kidney per unit time. These two measurements can be obtained simultaneously using FIT and allows researchers the ability to calculate the renal filtration fraction (FF). The FF is the ratio of the GFR and EPF and represents the amount of plasma flowing through the kidney that is actually being filtered. These are three fundamental measurements in the field of nephrology. The Product FIT-RPF Kit (Patents Pending)
